There's a lesion in my mind

If I could only find the time

To resurrect the man I am

Pull my head from the sand

If I could only see the light

What is wrong and what is right

I could release these tattered wings

And finally take flight

What is wrong and what is right?

What is dark and what is light?

What is truth and what is lies?

I fear I'll never get it right

What's the price of being good?

So many souls misunderstood

Many lie beneath the soil

Victims of a mortal coil

Oh, the tattered wings

All these shattered things

Oh, the tattered wings

They call me Idiot Icarus

I believed I was the one

To take flight towards the sun

With wax wings upon my back

I swore I'd never turn black

In the summer under leaves

So young and naive

But alas I never moved

In the silence I heard the truth

What is wrong and what is right?

What is dark and what is light?

What is truth and what is lies?

I fear I'll never get it right

What's the price of being good?

So many souls misunderstood

Many lie beneath the soil

Victims of a mortal coil

Oh, the tattered wings

All these shattered things

Oh, the tattered wings

They call me Idiot Icarus
